My school hosts an annual back to school night for students to meet their teachers parents to unload all of the brand new school supplies before the first day of school. I love back to school night, but it can be a little tricky to manage all the things. Fortunately, Avery’s peel and stick labels helped me create a few simple systems to manage student supplies for families to handle independently so I could focus on answering important questions and starting to build those oh-so-important family relationships.

Hi, I'm Maria.

I’m a former kindergarten teacher turned work-from-home mom. I still love sharing ideas and resources to make teaching easier, so you can focus on what really matters in the classroom. When I’m not working on the blog, you’ll find me chasing kids around the house with a cold cup of coffee in my hand (some things never change even once you’re out of the classroom!)
